Protected Information in Real-time for Increased Mobile Workforce
Efficiency and Security
RESTON, Va. (BUSINESS WIRE) SyncDog Inc., the leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) for next
generation mobile security and data loss prevention, today announced
their role in streamlining the manner in which deployed utility crews
exchange information during emergency outage situations. Traditionally,
utility companies share project information through a heavily manual
process, which is time consuming and inefficient in times of disaster.
SyncDog supports secure communication for utility companies during
precarious outages, ultimately saving time, costs, and enabling the
restoration of power and heat to customers when they need it most.
Each year, utility companies are presented with major challenges brought
on by natural disasters, equipment failure, and aging electricity grids
which lead to large-scale power outages that affect millions of
Americans. In these situations, utilities often rely heavily on sister
utility companies, contractors, and crews from supporting industries all
over the country to repair and replace infrastructure that has been
damaged. With this collaboration comes considerable obstacles in sharing
information which results in trucks and crews being sent to incorrect
locations without proper equipment or capabilities. Adding to the
problem, current dispatch systems are dated, difficult to deploy to
large crews, and open to an array of security vulnerabilities. SyncDog
makes it possible for utility companies to inform mobile workers by
offering a workspace of applications that enables secure collaboration
while in the field, from a highly-functional mobile container.
“Our goal is to remove the struggle of time-consuming manual processes
during an emergency situation in a manner that is as seamless as
possible,” said Brian Egenrieder, CRO of SyncDog. “With our
Secure.Systems application suite, users can be up and running within
minutes of accessing the application, allowing them access to outage
information, equipment diagrams, safety manuals, documentation,
logistics, and directional information regarding where they need to be,
all in the palm of their hand and in real-time.”
SyncDog’s Secure.Systems provides a project or needs-based workspace of
applications that enables utility and other mobile workers to securely
communicate from any location. The entire workspace employs
FIPS-compliant (cert. #2687), AES 256-bit encryption tosecure the
utility company’s proprietary data and IP both on worker’s devices and
in transit to the datacenter. The real time exchange of information
assures accurate and timely updates of progress, and the GPS tracking
capabilities allow companies to know exactly where a specific crew
member is located and how far they are from where they need to be next.
Once the work is complete and the crews are heading home, Secure.Systems
has the ability to automatically wipe data from the application, keeping
information safe and secure while not impacting any other data on the
worker’s device.
Most recently, SyncDog has engaged with a large, east coast utility
provider to help their deployed crews tackle these communication
challenges during emergency situations when time is critical, resources
are invaluable, and coordination is essential. Opening lines of
communication and providing effortless integration for unified
collaboration places SyncDog’s solution in a unique position to advance
the utility industry into a new era. On Nov. 21 and 22, the SyncDog team
will be attending Australian Utility Week in Melbourne and will be
demoing their Secure.Systems platform during the event at booth D16.
SyncDog’s CRO, Brian Egenrieder, will also be showcasing at theField
Tech Talk at 11:00 AEDT on Nov. 21 and will be speaking on theCracking the Innovation
panel at 16:30 AEDT on the same day. For more information about the event,visit
